Thread: Почему распался Советский Союз? Что происходит в Прибалтике, и немного истории

look that Germans did to Russians during WWII (and Balts were happily helping them in this): 27 million killed, 18 million from this number are civillians, but we don't blame modern Germans for this, actually attitude to modern Germans in Russia is rather friendly, we blame Hitler and Nazism wich are secretly admired in Baltics nowdays. How about acting like grown-ups and forgive&forget like we did?

We do not blame modern Germans too - because their predecessors abandoned Nazism ideology, apologized and paid compensations to every victim of Nazi regime.
Nowadays Nazi ideology is illegal in Germany and they (except some nutjobs) do not celebrate Nazi "victories" and "achievements".

Russia on the other hand refuses to abandon Soviet legacy, Communist party is not illegal, communist war criminals are not prosecuted - former KGB operative was your president LOL - In Latvia former KGB operatives are not allowed to run for electable office till the end of their lives - (Russia protested when Latvia prosecuted Vassili Kononov (I'm glad that this bastard, who burned pregnant woman alive, is finally dead, hope he rots in hell . They also do not want to extradite Mikhail Golovatov who is responsible for 13.01.1991. massacre in Vilnius.).
They still celebrate Brezhnev's "Victory day" - even Staļin himself did not celebrate anything - because even he apparently thought that there is nothing to celebrate for.

These "partizans" were the ones who served in Hitler's army and were afraid of rightful punishment for their crimes.

Soviet propaganda likes to repeat that. The truth is that partisans fought against BOTH invaders.
These who joined Nazis after communist atrocities in 1940 - can't really blame them - if my family was killed and/or deported to Siberia i would have joined Wehrmacht too to avenge them.

and were afraid of rightful punishment for their crimes.

No one in Latvian Legion was prosecuted for war crimes.
Arajs Kommando of course is completely different matter, but no one except nutjobs celebrate his crimes now.

Destruction, yeah.

I killed your family, but I built you a house - be grateful....

Yes, Nulle all you said is complete truth and the fact that Austria few days ago let Michail Golovatov come back to Russia and now he is sitting on his couch somewhere in Moscow really discredits EU cooperation… This way, Austria just simply betrayed values of EU. And Lithuania is going to do everything so that next time when Golovatov will be flying to the hills to calm down his conscience for the massacres he made, he would get what he deserved. Lithuanians look at him the same way Americans looked at Osama bin Laden and one day he still will have to pay for everything he did to Lithuania.
